It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking about the footy, waiting for the sixth job to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Cockernhoe and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we could get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Cockernhoe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
